interior design for oxshott homes
I'm Rhiannon, the founder of Studio Santos, based just down the road in Cobham. I design warm, considered interiors for Oxshott families: homes with a sense of calm and character, made for everyday life and for gathering.

Oxshott homes are often generous, from the large family houses around the Crown Estate and close to Oxshott Heath to more traditional properties near the village. Space is rarely the problem. The challenge is usually making big rooms feel warm and lived in, giving open-plan areas a sense of purpose, and bringing personality to a house that can feel more impressive than homely.
Being nearby means I can visit easily, I know the local trades and suppliers, and I’m there when you need me during the project.

A BEAUTIFULLY FINISHED CONTEMPORARY HOME IN OXSHOTT
The house has exceptional architecture, but it had never been furnished. The previous designer focused on the build and the finishes, and the young family were left with rooms that felt cold. Their brief was simple: make it feel like us.
In the first phase, I furnished the bar and drawing room as the adult end of the house: deep velvet seating in rusty reds and darkened peach, rounded pieces that soften the fireplace’s hard lines (and the edges, with small children around), a stone-topped sideboard that doubles as the bar, and low, layered lighting that takes the room from a family Saturday to a dinner for twelve.
A warmer kind of luxury
I’m drawn to homes that feel collected rather than bought in one go: natural materials, layered light, antique and vintage pieces alongside contemporary design, and a palette inspired by Mediterranean living. In a large Oxshott house, that approach brings warmth and intimacy to rooms that might otherwise feel formal.
HOW it works
-
A short call to talk about your home, what you’d like to change and how I work.
-
I visit your home to see the space and talk through ideas, practicalities and budget.
-
I create a design for your home and how you live, and we refine it together until it feels right.
-
I source and coordinate the furniture, lighting and finishes, then style the rooms so they’re ready to live in.
QUESTIONS FROM OXSHOTT CLIENTS
No. I’m based in Cobham and work across Surrey and South West London, including Esher, Weybridge and Woking.
Do you only work in Oxshott?
1
Yes. Many projects work best in phases, starting with the rooms that matter most. We plan the whole house first so each phase fits together.
Can you work on a large house in stages?
2
Every project is different, so I don’t publish fixed prices. After our first conversation, I’ll give you a clear proposal based on the rooms, the scope and your budget, so you know where you stand before anything begins.
